Mr. WARNER, apothecary, in Fore7 ftreet, on Feb. 22, 1797, after an attendance of a few days on a patient, who died 7 of a malignant fever, was fuddenly feized with a vertiginous affection of the head, accompanied with ficknefs at the fto7 mach, and followed by violent vomiting. 4 Thefe fymptoms were fucceeded by a fever; during the continuance of which, 3 confiderable pain was felt in the region of the abdomen, particularly about the left hypochondrium; and, in a few days after the abatement of the fever, fymptoms of jaundice appeared. The tunica conjunc tiva of the eye, and the whole furface of the body became of a very deep yellow colour; the ftools were of a clay-like ap8 pearance, and the urine was very much

382 impregnated with bile, depofiting at times

a confiderable fediment. There was a fenfe of pain and ftricture about the præcordia, accompanied with a confiderable degree of tenfion of the abdomen: and the pain in the left hypochondrium frequently returned. The breathing was fometimes very much affected: the heat of the fkin was increased and feconded by a defquamation of the cuticle, and fuch a degree of itching as proved very troublefome. The ftate of the pulfe was not much affected at any ftage of the disease. Thefe fymptoms continued for feveral months, attended with great languor and debility, an indifpofition to motion, together with confiderable anxiety of mind. As in the course of the difeafe a variety of fymptoms occurred, fo different medicines were employed, according to the different circumftances of the cafe. The bowels were kept open by aloes, rhubarb, and foap. Different bitters were employed: gentian and columbo were frequently ufed. Myrrh and fteel were taken with a view to their tonic effect, and for the mitigation of pain, opium was repeatedly administered.

Calomel was frequently ufed, but the ftate of the bowels fometimes rendering the ufe of it improper, mercurial frictions were substituted in its room.

After the use of various medicines, without any important advantage being produced, the nitrous acid was taken in the quantity of a dram every day. During the ufe of thefe medicines, the various fymptoms gradually abated: the yellow colour of the eye and of the skin grew fainter; the tenfion of the abdomen diminished; the pain and ftricture about the præcordia abated; the strength gradually returned, and the appetite was much improved. No inconvenience arofe to the ftomach or bowels from the ufe of the acid, till after it had been taken for fome weeks, when the patient felt a pain in his ftomach; for the relief of which, he took a few grains of kali preparatum, and repeated the dofe twice or thrice in the courfe of the week, Whilft it was judged proper to mention

this circumftance, it is equally neceffary to obferve, that the fmall quantity of the kali taken can hardly affect the conclufion which may be drawn respecting the advantage of the nitrous acid in this inftance.

This report will probably bring to the recollection of the medical reader, the experiments of Mr. WM. SCOTT, of Bombay, and the conclufion which he draws concerning the effect of the nitrous acid on the refinous bafe of the bile, and the refemblance of the effects of this medicine to those which generally occur in the use of mercurials.
